SECRET AGENT 777 is average as EURO-SPY movies go.

Mark Damon looks like a little kid in this movie, even thought he was 32 at the time. The movie starts with an aerial view of the Hotel Zone in Beirut, Lebanon as it was in 1965. There have been numerous wars there since and the area is totally devastated now. Other than a few "cars following cars" around the area, the rest of the movie was shot indoors. There are a lot of good looking stars and some gadgets but for the most part the movie is just a walk-through. Mark Damon is shown with a blonde in bed at the 8 minute mark which defies the censors of the time. (Watch the movie on Y/T and see what I mean). Seyna Seyn is gorgeous as ever. Lewis Jordan and Stanley Kent are in a gunfight and I was surprised at how "similar" "height, weight, facial look", they are. Lewis Jordan went on to make the SEQUAL to this movie. Henry Bay directs the story about "bringing the dead back to life". Good idea but still boring when told in such a straight forward motion manner. Some of it is still entertaining and worth watching.
